Before we jump headfirst into this week’s BSG episode The Ties That Bind we check in with GWC correspondents attending Starfury: Serenity Complete in London, FedCon in Germany, the NY Comicon, and Bear McCreary’s concert. Highlights: we lament Cally’s loss of the family and friends who served as her anchor, compare her fate to Kat’s and Ellen’s, explore Tory’s new “gansta” Cylon side, debate the sexiness of Starbuck’s scene with Anders, discuss the ickyness of Boomer and Cavil’s skeevalicious makeout session, enjoy the Cylons’ “now it’s your turn” human-like experience with relationships and democracy, squee with joy at Zarek’s awesome return to BSG, suspect that Lee will be a better politician than we once suspected, review this week’s Grand Poo Barge episode, trade first slave Leia experiences, and delve into the sick, sad big slug underworld.

Beware…image below is a spoiler for the podcast…

#6

U-hu! She’s got some gods!

#7

Solai, workin’ his mojo. Thanx for the pic, bro.

#8

Gee, I wonder if those Gods are real. Some of the fake Gods look so real these days.

#9

Been listening and lurking for a while now, and I finally come out of the woodwork to defend Tory.

How fraked up is that?

Don’t get me wrong, I hated seeing Cally get spaced, but what else could Tory do? If Tory had knocked her out and called Security, Cally would have woke up screaming “Code Blue” to anyone who would listen to her. At least this way, Nicky is still alive.

Great podcast and I can’t wait for next week.

#10

Yeah, it’s a cold, cold logic. But it makes its own sense. And Cally was obviously off the hook there.

Welcome aboard, BTW.

#11

“Skeevy Toad” would be a great name for a rockband.

#12

Okay…seriously…am I crazy of was there a “Ship of Light” in Starbuck’s painting?

EDIT: Holy frak…I just checked on my DVR (no bloody screencaps available yet) … I don’t think I am crazy…

#13

Man, I am just partway through the cast, and it’s so great already! So many call-ins from around the globe! GWC is an awesome community! So many great people- such a well-run show.

eep. erk. gone speechless… :eek:

#14

Not just Cylon-logic, but just plain sense. Cally was a threat whichever way you look at it. shrugs

Downloading now…

#15

Cylon?

/.,/.,

#16

LOL!!!

If that were the case, I hope to wake up in goo as a Six or an Eight model… :slight_smile:

#17

You might be right. And what planet is that in upper right-hand corner? That’s not Earth.

#18

Crazy Formerly Dead Pilot Chick Omicron IV?

#19

Omicron IV? Interesting.

Omicron IV is the fourth planet in the Omicron system. Prior to the mid-20th century, the relationships among the governmental states on Omicron IV were fragile. At one point, the different states launched orbital nuclear rockets in response to other governments doing the same. Eventually, most governments had weapons in orbit. This almost destroyed the planet, but its ultimate destruction was avoided.

The aliens who employed Gary Seven were aware of the history of Omicron IV, as was Gary Seven himself. He compared the situation of Earth in 1968 to what happened on Omicron IV, which the Beta 5 computer agreed was similar. (TOS: “Assignment: Earth”)

#20

I’m thinking that’s Jupiter, and at least one of those star-ish images represents the comet she saw.

Smart thing to make sure she had her paints with her…kind of like on Gilligan’s Island when all of a sudden everyone had their entire wardrobes…
